The source of protein may vary but protein food products have historically relied upon soy, whey, peanuts, wheat, milk, beef or a combination thereof. The egg white makes up approximately two thirds of an egg's liquid weight and contains more than half the egg's total protein, niacin, riboflavin, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulfur. Egg white also contains very little carbohydrate and virtually no fat or cholesterol but high in calories. Egg proteins also have a complete amino acid profile and a high biological value, however, egg protein powdered forms are known for their unpleasant tastes.
